For this edition of White Noise we came together again at St John’s on Bethnal Green Church to collaborate and create multi-speaker experience for our audience.

14 performers chose their own place in the church and listened carefully to reflect their sonic or visual contribution to the space. The idea was not to compose music together but to use sound as a tool to reflect our feelings and tell stories to the audience, creating an audio-visual narrative that could be explored by our visitors.

Hannah Archambault & Franziska Böhm performed together in costumes designed by Alice Ortona Coles One of their performances focused on voice and had them both laying on their backs on the stairs up to the bell tower. This fitted their chosen location perfectly both sonically and visaully. Their voices leaking into the bell tower where Dominique Golden and Nik Clifford were performing was a really good combination. The performance explored acoustic sound and wordless singing, with site-specific movement shaping the space. Two voices intertwined in improvised duets.

Snippet of the performance by Silkess Demon that took place inside the Belfry.  The performance featured household ornaments—small birds and houses—transformed into ocarina-like instruments. Their sounds mingled with flute, voice, and layers of electronic manipulation, creating melodic synth atmospheres. The ornaments also came to life visually, used in shadow play alongside delicate paper constructions.

Arkcy Tang set up himself inside the pulput, creating a monumental setting with massive projections on the ceilings of the church this in addition with live sonic explorations.︎︎︎ 

Ali Taie returned for the second time to a White Noise event to do a liveset on his eurorack modular synth.

Abolutely beautful design by saumya shukla. We’re super grateful that Saumya offered to do this poster, specially since we can’t usually offer any pay for this. We do offer some merch to anyone that is up for doing a design. ︎︎︎
